"We Are All Passengers on the Titanic"

"Twenty twenty-five continued the winding down of an era that had lasted for 80 years, starting from 1945. We are at the start of a new era-in which human beings, their rights and freedoms, are ceasing to be the defining factors and often are altogether irrelevant. Disorganization, chaos, and cruelty are expanding while human lives are losing their value and worth."

"The new "security strategy" of the United States that is taking shape-the Monroe-Donroe Doctrine of sorts-is devoid of human values and humanistic principles. Accordingly, the role of the UN and several other international institutions is being sharply devalued. With his doctrine and strategy, Trump is radically altering the US foreign policy direction of many years and the place of the US in the world."

The year 2025 marks the winding down of an era beginning in 1945 and the start of a new era where human rights and freedoms are becoming marginal. Disorganization, chaos, and cruelty are expanding while human lives lose value. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues with heavy casualties and widespread destruction, and recent diplomatic meetings have produced no change. Current political leaders lack a clear method to resolve the conflict. A shifting US security strategy devalues humanistic principles, reduces the role of the UN and other institutions, and prioritizes relationships with states perceived as strong.
